I need new skis and bindings. I weigh 125 pounds and am about 5'9. I ski park in ontario so i don't really see any powder. I will be making a trip to tremblant and whistler though. Im considering the marker griffon schizo or standard griffon bindings, any input on these? I want a ski that can rip everywhere about 60-70% park 30-40% all mountain.

skis i've looked at are, line anthems, line chronics, volki walls, moment reno rocker.

Give me any setup you think would suit me, thanks for the help

Line Anthem 171 with Marker Griffon - one of the most legit set-ups out there. Such a super fun park ski and it's wide underfoot so it can even play in some powder.

chronic with them griffons would be sick great for park and all mountain but pow depending on how much you do you could get the chronic kryptonite which is slightly wider

you honestly could do either - after thinking about it you may want to go with the 178 (I'm 5'8" 160lbs and I'm skiing 177 Afterbangs - so you'll be fine with the 178). They are really soft so you'll be able to control and butter them just fine. It's such a fun ski though - I just skied a pair yesterday at a rail jam and they're super easy to control and butters are so easy (you can under rotate and butter it out and people wont even notice unless they're looking for it - I threw a 6-off, but I didn't get all the way around and it still looked clean).

Umm, I think they were 171s (they weren't mine so I don't remember), but they felt kinda short, which is why I'd recommend the 178 - UNLESS you like your skis on the short side.

What about AR6s, Alpha 1s, Alpha 2s, Line Elizabeths (awesome ski btw, I love mine, they do everything) chronic seems good, possibly blend also. If you get Lizzies, just mount 2 back, it works awesome for everthing.

amplid antidogma, kills the park but also slays the mountain its 86 waist makes it good for a little powder, not knee deep though
